Does the point of view of the story enhance how the novel unfolds? How does the point of view add interest to the novel? Provide a specific quotation from the novel to demonstrate.
I found the point of view in this story interesting because not only did it give a descriptive narrative, it left out the unnecessary and long descriptive monologues out of the equation. I believe it did this successfully because poetry is descriptive yet abrupt.
Sometimes human rights novels can be long, grueling, and difficult to read. Though equally difficult to read, and painful to hear at times, Sold by Patricia McCormick tells the story beautifully, with the right flow of words.
Each short chapter is like a different poem, telling a different story, but they're all connected.
"When the David Beckham boy came home from school today, he threw his backpack in the corner, kissed his mother, played with his sister, and then sat down and taught me a few important things." (McCormick 164)
No muss, no fuss; just the information the reader needs to know.
